Turning one photo into a Robot Girl clip

Photo to android, step by step

• Open the generator on the template page. One upload box is all there is. Drop in a crisp picture of one adult that reaches at least the waist, with the face clear.
• Choose the story. The first hug is the default, and five others are on offer.
• Choose place, core and outfit. Out of the box you get the tech expo, a silver-blue core and your own clothes.
• Pick a shape. Choose 9:16 or 16:9.
• Give consent and sign in with Google.
• Check a bonus preview (5 seconds, 480p) for your face and for the glow at the waist.
• Render the full clip. It takes 1 credit and lands in My videos as an MP4.

What the story decides

Every story is one handheld shot among people holding up phones. What changes is who steps forward, what they say and what the android does with her hands, so the pockets story looks nothing like the hug.

Once it has rendered

Find the MP4 and a share link in My videos. A silent copy sits beside it if you want to replace the spoken lines.
